Or read Kierkegaard, who thought Hegel was a joke, despite being influenced by dialectical movements.
Does @jack still have a bounty for nostr GitHub?
Are nostr apps just websites with a nostr backend at this point? Are there any nostr apps?
Perhaps the problem is trying to "win". Pretty sure a worldly win, since there is always more to win in the world, requires all these things.

If it isn't, or doesn't get captured itself
I have a thesis I want to run by my fellow #christians. Maybe I'm just rediscovering postmillennialism, or historic premillennialism, or something, but some of this seems original.
There are two halves of Biblical/world history: Creation and New Creation. Creation's head is Adam, whose commission is dominion. New Creation's head is Jesus, whose commission to evangelism. Dominion involves subduing physical reality to human ingenuity; i.e. technology. New creation involves subduing humanity to divine love.
We are told that this world is going to wear out like a garment, and be rolled up like a scroll, prompting apocalypticism throughout history. Yet Jesus says that the Kingdom is with you, and that it is the latter days. This is conventionally explained by the "already not yet", that New Creation is latent within our earthly lives.
But what if that is true beyond just the devotional? Jesus says the kingdom of heaven is like leaven, and we take that to mean that our souls are being saved. But what if the world itself is being saved? What if every rock, tree, ocean, cloud is being invisibly, slowly suffused by the Good News of Christ's immanent lordship over the earth? What if New Creation is slowly covering Old Creation like moss covering a rock, and when the rock crumbles away the moss will retain its shape? What if the new creation is already here, and is no less physical for it's being spiritual, and when "we see him face to face" and are changed, the rest of the world — including nature and the physical stuff we've built — are suddenly changed as well?
This fits with the idea of the "garden city" — in the Bible, cities come first, and then God irrupts into their center (for example Solomon's and Ezekiel's Temples), changing their entire nature, purpose, and organization.
This seems to me to reconcile God's apparent intention to discard this world in favor of a "new" one with his obvious love of what he has made. Thoughts? Hallucinations?

Are you familiar with Kierkegaard?
You can't bang someone over the internet, so pics is the best you can get....

And yes, oracles are points of failure, but that's irrespective of nostr. You can't play chess without agreeing to a set of rules and having a ref that you trust, otherwise if we bet on a chess mass I will make my first move putting you in checkmate and take the funds.
Nostr can't have apps? That would be pretty lame. I'm not looking at gambling where you'd need an oracle. I'm looking at distributed proveable games.
I see pics and videos, not marketplaces? I've glanced at dlcs. Oracles are points of failure.
Nostr needs sex, gambling, and drugs. If it can't provide these things, it is worthless.
I respect you, and applaud your efforts. Use testnet, if not regtest, if for nothing more than it being built into your development process. I can't think of a single reason to test on main, and respectfully, doing so expresses a precise development naivete.
This is not a mock screen, by the way. The app fully works and I test it with real bitcoin and real payments. Who has time for testnets?
Example: top up my Russian phone number (you can see the name of the carrier in one of the orders: MTS).

"Who has time for testnets?" Isn't the flex you think it is. No one should come close to an app who makes such claims.
A pisser, it doesn't follow the pattern. Should it have to?
